Microbial Mass in Aeration System given MLSS Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Total Microbial Mass = Daily BOD/((Sewage Flow*Influent BOD)/(Volume of Tank*MLSS))
Mt = BOD/((Q*Qi)/(V*X))
This formula uses 6 Variables
Variables Used
Total Microbial Mass - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Microbial Mass is the cumulative mass of microorganisms present in a given sample or system. This includes bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and other microbes.
Daily BOD - (Measured in Kilogram) - Daily BOD load measures the amount of oxygen that microorganisms will consume while decomposing organic matter in a water sample over a 24-hour period.
Sewage Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Sewage Flow into the aeration tank is the sewage flow into the aeration tank when we have prior information of other parameters used.
Influent BOD - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Influent BOD is the total amount of BOD which is present in the incoming sewage.
Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.
MLSS - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - MLSS is the concentration of suspended solids in the mixed liquor within an aeration tank during the activated sludge process.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Daily BOD: 3 Milligram --> 3E-06 Kilogram (Check conversion ​here)
Sewage Flow: 3.33 Cubic Meter --> 3.33 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Influent BOD: 0.0009 Milligram per Liter --> 9E-07 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion ​here)
Volume of Tank: 1.5 Cubic Meter --> 1.5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
MLSS: 2 Milligram per Liter --> 0.002 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion ​here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Mt = BOD/((Q*Qi)/(V*X)) --> 3E-06/((3.33*9E-07)/(1.5*0.002))
Evaluating ... ...
Mt = 0.003003003003003
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.003003003003003 Kilogram -->3.003003003003 Gram (Check conversion ​here)
FINAL ANSWER
3.003003003003 3.003003 Gram <-- Total Microbial Mass
